Extractions: (Edited from The Wilson Daily Times, December 1, 1990) Prisoners who come under religious influence while they're behind the walls do better once they're back on the outside and in society than those who lack the religious influence, researchers say. The findings of the first-of-its-kind study on the rehabilitative effect of religion on prisoners could have wide implications for the prison system, although more study is needed, the researchers say. "The results are phenomenal," said John Gartner of Baltimore, a clinical psychologist who headed the five-member research team. "There haven't been any findings of effectiveness that were this strong." It was found that prisoners who received religious instruction while in prison had a lower rate of recidivism - return to crime - after being freed than did those who had no such instruction.

Extractions: eye - BY NATE HENDLEY Getting cut off the telephone by an adult can provoke any teenager. For an unnamed young offender or cadet, as Project Turnaround director "Colonel" Sally Walker prefers to call her charges it resulted in a violent "incident" with staff, a trip to hospital and a complaint to the Ontario Provincial Police. As far as can be gathered, this is what happened: On Saturday evening, March 14, a 17-year-old inmate at Project Turnaround, Ontario's first privately run "boot camp" for young offenders, became irate when a phone call was prematurely halted. The cadet then "took exception" to being escorted to a quiet room, "and a scuffle ensued," says Kenneth Tufts, spokesperson for the solicitor-general's ministry, which oversees the camp. Col. Walker explains what happened next: "He appeared to have a red, flushed face, so we took the initiative to send him to Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie. He was examined but not admitted, because the injuries weren't serious enough." What could be serious, however, is the fact that the cadet "alleged that he was assaulted by staff," says Tufts, and has filed a complaint which the OPP is investigating.

Extractions: "The underlying principle of good fame in society is that when a man constantly does good he becomes a centre of harmonious vibrations which, enjoyed by the people around him, naturally create warmth and love in their hearts. That is why he is described in glowing terms by all. In this way the good fame of a man is the criterion of his goodness, and ill fame the criterion of his badness. No one who is good could possibly acquire ill fame. It is the vibrations spreading from a man's actions that induce people to speak well of him or otherwise." Maharishi University has the lowest reputation (1.6 out of a possible 5 for 2002-2003 only one other school has less than a 2.0) of any Midwestern college, a clear sign that the school's management and policies are seriously wrong-headed. Also, starting with the 1999-2000 edition, MUM is ranked in the 4th tier of schools, a drop from the previous 2nd-tier ranking. The 1999-2000 edition was also the last time that MUM filled out a survey form sent out by U.S. News

Extractions: Through their research efforts, UC Irvine faculty members come up with useful solutions to some of California's most pressing problems. These solutions in turn help to improve the quality of life for all Californians. The following article illustrates this point by discussing one ongoing research project led by faculty members in UCI's School of Social Ecology. Pillars of Society, Steeped in Gang Life A new and highly specialized gang has taken hold in Orange County, claiming turf in the heart of Irvine. They don't flash hand signs or wear baggy street clothes. In fact, one member sports a distinctly highbrow bow tie. But they have become a force bent on making their mark - at least within the occasionally cutthroat world of academia. This gang is composed of social scientists based at UC Irvine. They come from various disciplines - sociology, anthropology, criminology - but they all share a special interest in the study of violent street gangs. Within the past two years, UCI's School of Social Ecology has attracted some of the country's leading gang experts, including its new dean, C. Ronald Huff, editor of the text "Gangs in America."

The Door Slams someone let's you. Visitor or prisoners, the insides of an incarceration centerare 1832, the criminal age, is dropping at the same rate as the crime stats. http://danjohn.org/jail.html
Extractions: The Door Slams The guards warn you about this moment. It doesn't matter, though. Once that door slams behind you and you leave the "safety" of most of society and begin to walk down that long hallway, the reality of jail and prison life hits you like the icy blasts of winter's canyon winds. It is literally stunning. "Now, you can't leave unless someone let's you." Visitor or prisoners, the insides of an incarceration center are possibly my worse fears. "Oh, a guy like you is a real suicide risk in here," Captain Ron Adams told me as we walked down the 220 yards of a concrete, and only concrete, hallway. "Yeah, white male, successful, forties, we'd have to keep an eye on you." In this windless, florescent world, even as a guest, I found myself looking for signs of life. Jesus is clear about the Corporeal Works of Mercy in the Gospel of Matthew. We all know the list: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, clothe the naked, bury the dead, comfort the sick, and that last one. And "that last one" is the one I struggle with: visit the prisoners. Gift of the Drummer, Sub for Santa or Canned Food Drives, well, I'm your man. But visit the prisoners? Some of the statistics about Utah's prison system reflect national problems. 65% of those at the county jail test positive for illegal substances in their blood. That doesn't include alcohol. It is funny, but I had begun to think that drugs should be legalized until I saw that stat. 100% of the prostitutes had cocaine in their system. Although the valley's Hispanic population is eight percent, the jail is 23% Hispanic. African-Americans accounts for one percent of the population, but five percent of the inmate population. It still amazes me when politicians still won't grapple with profiling.

Extractions: Self-Made User posted July 15, 2001 08:02 PM My stat geek nature comes out again. I found some very interesting statistics on U.S. illegal drug use. Lots of great age/education/ethnicity breakdowns further down, but I find the higher-level stats the most illuminating. Given the amount of attention (in government and the media) and money spent in the War on Drugs, how many people age 12 and over, as a number or percent of the population, do you think are regular (in the past 30 days) users of a) cocaine b) hallucinogens c) heroin? Make a mental guess before continuing. In 1999, an estimated 1.5 million Americans were current cocaine users. This represents 0.7 percent of the population age 12 and older. The estimated number of current crack users was 413,000 in 1999. In 1999, an estimated 900,000 Americans were current hallucinogen users. This represents 0.4 percent of the population age 12 and older. In 1999, an estimated 200,000 Americans were current heroin users. This represents 0.1 percent of the population age 12 and older.
